Chapter 136 Delivery Futures
At the exit of Kai Tak Airport, Li Hongbing held up a sign and looked around. After a long while, he called out, "Xiao Fan, Xiao Qiu, this way."

Chen Fan looked in the direction of the voice and walked over with Xu Jinqiu: "Brother Bingzi, Sister Ying, why are you all here? Is sister-in-law doing well recently?"

Li Hongbing reached out and took Chen Fan's suitcase: "Everything is fine, I'm waiting at home. Don't wait here, get in the car quickly and go home to rest for a while."

Li Hongying held Xu Jinqiu's arm and followed the two men: "Qiu'er, why didn't A-Li come with you? And your little sister, her name is Yuanyuan, right?"

"They both work at school and have been busy preparing for the New Year's Day activities recently. They really can't get away. I'll bring them here next time when I'm free." Xu Jinqiu said apologetically.

Li Hongying is really thoughtful. The last time she went back to see Zeng Ali, she also heard about Zhao Yuanyuan and learned that they were like real sisters, so she also sent invitations this time.

However, Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan resisted the temptation to come to Hong Kong and declined politely, mainly because they were worried that the cost of coming to Hong Kong would be too high and they were embarrassed to come.

Whether they were eating at Chen Fan's house before or moving to the small courtyard, the two girls shared the living expenses equally, and their personalities were very distinct.

"That's a pity. I must remember to bring them here to play next time."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the parking lot. It was the same Mercedes-Benz car as before. Li Hongbing was driving, Chen Fan was sitting in the passenger seat, and the two ladies were sitting in the back seat.

Sitting in the car, Chen Fan looked around from time to time. Just like the last time he came, Hong Kong had not changed much, especially the roads, which were still as narrow.

Not long after, the car returned to the villa in Repulse Bay.

Hearing the sound of the car, Wang Chunyu came out of the house with a big belly. Xu Jinqiu got out of the car and hurried to support her: "Sister-in-law, you are pregnant, don't be so polite."

Wang Chunyu gently patted the back of Xu Jinqiu's hand: "It's okay, the doctor also said that you should move more during pregnancy, let's go inside first."

"The sea breeze is strong outside, everyone go inside."

Li Hongying asked the servants to come, carry the luggage in, and send it to the room where Chen Fan and Xu Jinqiu had lived before, and arranged for the servants to serve tea.

After drinking a cup of hot tea and chatting about family matters for a while, Li Hongying got up and went to the study to get out a document: "Xiao Fan, take a look."

Yipintang Equity Transfer Agreement!
Yipintang Fish Restaurant is the new restaurant opened by Li Hongying. The agreement states that Chen Fan will invest in the restaurant by purchasing its recipe and will receive 10% of the shares.

"Sister Ying, there's really no need to do this. It's just a dish. How can I ask you for 10% of the shares?" Chen Fan put down the agreement. The amount in it was too large.

For a shop of several hundred square meters, the initial investment is as high as more than one million Hong Kong dollars.

"The dishes that can support a restaurant are worth this much. You've helped me so many times, I can't take advantage of you anymore. This is settled."

From the first time she invited Chen Fan to Hong Kong, Li Hongying was trying to repay the favor. Unexpectedly, Chen Fan took out the advertisement of the Philippine Bank and a movie script, and she owed him a favor again.

I have to give something back no matter what this time.

After talking for a while, Chen Fan had no choice but to sign his name on the agreement.

Li Hongying put away the agreement and left a copy for Chen Fan: "That's right, let's go to the restaurant for lunch tomorrow and try the dishes first."

Chen Fan accepted the agreement: "Sister Ying, please make an appointment with Manager Yu Jing for me tomorrow afternoon. I will go to deal with the futures."

"You're going to dispose of it? Speaking of futures, you're really good at predicting it. The price of gold has dropped a lot recently, and you've made a lot of money from those futures."

"How low has it fallen?"

"It dropped to nearly 600 US dollars a few days ago. I haven't paid attention to it these days. I'll go to the bank tomorrow. You can ask Yu Jing for details, but I'm sure you made a lot of money."

Hearing this, Chen Fan raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

The numbers are basically consistent with those in my memory, proving that my operation was correct. Moreover, the amount of funds I have is not enough to create any waves, let alone produce a chain reaction.

"Madam, it's time to eat."

The servant came over, Li Hongying nodded slightly, and invited the couple to go to the restaurant. She also opened a bottle of red wine and drank a glass with the couple.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the couple was allowed to return to their room. The servant brought over some more clothes: "Madam ordered them to be prepared. They are all made according to the sizes of the gentleman and the lady."

Three sets per person, from inside to outside!

Li Hongying's thoughtfulness made both of them smile bitterly.

"Keep it!"

The winter clothes they were wearing were both bought in Beijing. The styles are relatively trendy in the mainland, but they look a bit old-fashioned in Hong Kong.

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Since I came to Hong Kong for business this time, I had to dress decently. Chen Fan had originally planned to go out and buy some clothes.

"The clothes have been washed, what else can I do if I don't accept them? Sister Ying is so thoughtful every time. I will be embarrassed to come next time."

Xu Jinqiu hung the clothes one by one in the closet and said, "As for the shares of this fish restaurant, would it be a bad idea for us to just accept them?"

"Sister Ying feels that she owes us a favor, so she wants to give us the shares on purpose. We also feel that Sister Ying has helped us a lot. It's hard to explain why we owe each other so much."

Chen Fan opened the suitcase and found a pen and paper. "I'll write a few more recipes for fish fillets, and also some recipes for special fish. I won't let Sister Ying suffer any loss."

Cuisine has a traditional heritage, but it has also been constantly improved and innovated. After all, the seasonings and ingredients in ancient times were far less abundant than those today.

Just like pickled fish fillet, if Chen Fan had not been reborn, this dish would not have appeared in the Sichuan and Chongqing food competition until 83. In addition to pickled fish fillet, there are also spicy, fragrant and spicy, garlic, sour and refreshing flavors. Chen Fan wrote them down one by one. In addition, there are some popular dishes in later generations.

Yipintang can definitely launch new dishes regularly and constantly innovate in taste, so as to retain customers while building itself into a brand.

If it can really build a brand and a chain model, it is not impossible for Yipintang to go public in the future.

The next morning, Chen Fan handed the recipe to Li Hongying. After Li Hongying took it, she read it carefully and couldn't help laughing: "If you want to change your career and become a chef, you will be at the level of a master chef."

After saying that, he carefully put away the recipe and took everyone to Yipin Fish Restaurant, which is located in Central and has a very nice decoration.

When they came over, there were already seven or eight tables of customers in the store. Li Hongying explained: "Although it has not officially opened, it is already in trial operation."

For a restaurant this large, a soft opening is essential.

In this process, we can not only verify the market and collect customer feedback, but also help to integrate the team and test the supply chain.

Li Hongying called the waiter and asked him to serve all the dishes. Chen Fan picked up the menu and looked at it. The main dish was pickled fish, and there were other dishes, but not many. Relatively speaking, it was still relatively simple.

But as a specialty restaurant, it is enough.

Chen Fan took a look at the price. It should be considered medium-priced in Hong Kong. It is affordable for most people and quite close to the people.

Not long after, the restaurant started serving the dishes. Chen Fan tasted each dish and said, "Sister Ying, it's very good. Your pickled fish is much better than mine."

"Whether it's fish, spices or sauerkraut, they are all strictly screened and only the best quality are chosen. And the chefs are also hired at great prices," Li Hongying said confidently.

“Good ingredients really do produce a different taste. If you can achieve such a taste and do a good job of publicity, you will have no problem finding customers.”

"Then let me lend you some good words!"

Li Hongying raised her drink cup and clinked glasses with Chen Fan: "Let's try this store first. If it works, we'll open branches. It's not too late to open eight or ten stores in Hong Kong."

Chen Fan put down the cup and said with a smile: "Come on, Sister Ying, I'm just waiting to share the money."

Li Hongying smiled.

After eating and drinking, Li Hongying did not stop and took Chen Fan and Xu Jinqiu straight to the Bank of East Asia, where they were invited directly to the VIP room.

After a while, Yu Jing came over with a folder.

When they met again, Yu Jing became very enthusiastic. Although she was very polite before, that politeness was only out of consideration for Li Hongying's face.

The current enthusiasm is directed at Chen Fan himself.

Because Chen Fan made her money, people in the financial circle are so realistic. If Chen Fan goes bankrupt one day and she meets him on the street, she won't even look at him twice.

Yu Jing made some good tea before getting down to business: "Mr. Chen, you really have a keen eye. The price of gold has been falling recently, and there is no sign of recovery."

Chen Fan took the teacup and took a sip: "How much has the price of gold fallen? What is the price today?"

Yu Jing took out a report from her folder and handed it over: "I checked the market at noon, and the price of gold has officially dropped to 600 US dollars per ounce."

"Your funds were purchased in two batches. The first batch of 50 Hong Kong dollars was purchased at 748 US dollars, and the other batch was purchased at 740 US dollars."

"If the transaction is completed today, after deducting the service fee, your total profit should be 190 million Hong Kong dollars, and there is still 100 million principal, a total of 290 million Hong Kong dollars."

Yu Jing did the math herself and was shocked.

The young man in front of us deposited only 20 Hong Kong dollars in the bank a few months ago, and later deposited another 50 Hong Kong dollars, but in just a few months, it became 290 million.

This rate of return is frighteningly high.

He also earned a considerable commission from it. From now on, he could no longer treat Chen Fan as a small client. Although his money was not as much as that of a real rich man, his way of operation could allow him to obtain high commissions, which was the most important thing.

"Xiao Fan, congratulations!"

Li Hongying was also shocked when she heard this number. Although she had expected Chen Fan to make a fortune, she was still surprised by this number.

"Sister Ying, please don't flatter me. I'm just doing a small thing. Compared with you real rich people, it's just a fraction." Chen Fan smiled.

"Don't be ungrateful, kid. You can earn several times the profit in just a few months. I am jealous. If you have any plans next, I will follow you."

"I have little capital, I play like a poor man, can you still play like this with all your might?"

High leverage is a gambler's way of playing.

Real rich people would hardly play like this as the risk is too great, especially for someone like Chen Fan who starts with a tenfold leverage, which is almost risking his life.

Li Hongying smiled but didn't say anything for the time being.

Yu Jing then took over the topic: "Mr. Chen, do you want to deliver these futures, or keep them and wait for the gold price to continue to fall?"

Chen Fan frowned. It was inevitable that the price of gold would continue to fall. However, the profit would be too little if the gold was kept in the account. He had to change his strategy.
